Fulham striker among Atalanta's options to replace Retegui
Atalanta are still looking for replacements for Italy forward Retegui, who completed a €65m transfer to Al Qadsiah just a few days ago.
Three Atalanta targets to replace Retegui

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Fulham forward Muniz is among Atalanta's options to replace the latest Serie A top goalscorer.

La Dea's priority remains Genk forward Arokodare, but it's a pretty tricky deal, so it's not guaranteed that the Nerazzurri will actually finalise it.
Chiesa could replace Lookman at Atalanta

Lecce star Krstovic is another name being discussed at the Gewiss Stadium. The Montenegro international is expected to leave this summer after scoring 19 goals in 54 appearances across his two-year spell at the Via del Mare.
In the meantime, Atalanta are also in talks with Inter over Ademola Lookman's sale and, as I revealed last week, Federico Chiesa is seen as a possible replacement for the Nigerian forward.

Sky Sports: Burnley ‘Reach Agreement' to Sign Chelsea Forward
Burnley Closing In On Chelsea Striker Broja Agreement According to Sky Sports News reporters Dharmesh Sheth and Adrian Kajumba, Burnley and Chelsea have reached a broad agreement on many aspects of a deal for Armando Broja. The 23-year-old Albania international appears to be edging closer to a move to Turf Moor, with talks continuing over the structure of the agreement. Personal terms are not expected to be an obstacle, with the player reportedly set to agree to a five-year contract. That length of deal shows Burnley's intent to build their Premier League future around young, promising talent. Ambition Shown In Early Transfer Window Moves Broja, who has battled for game time at Chelsea amid intense competition, has long been admired by a number of Premier League clubs. Burnley's emergence as the leading contender highlights their readiness to compete at the top level following promotion under Scott Parker. 'Personal terms on a five-year contract are not expected to be an issue,' Sky Sports News report, indicating the mutual interest between player and club is strong. Photo: IMAGO Such decisiveness in the market can send a message across the league, particularly when it comes to attracting players with top-flight experience. Player Profile And Potential Impact Broja's pace, power and direct style could provide Burnley with a much-needed focal point in attack. Standing at 6ft 3in, he offers a physical presence but also the technical quality to link play and exploit space in behind. Chelsea, meanwhile, may view this as a chance for the striker to flourish with regular minutes after a frustrating spell on the fringes at Stamford Bridge. For Burnley, this represents a strategic investment rather than a short-term gamble. Strong Foundations For Premier League Survival A player of Broja's profile fits with Parker's likely approach of organised defensive shape, quick transitions and aggressive pressing in advanced areas. Given Burnley's need for goals and top-level experience, this deal could be central to their survival hopes. Fans will be encouraged that the club is moving swiftly and ambitiously in the market. Securing a long-term commitment from a striker of Broja's calibre before the season begins could prove vital in ensuring Burnley remain competitive throughout the campaign. Our View – EPL Index Analysis As a Burnley supporter, this is the type of signing that makes you sit up and think, 'We really mean business this season.' Coming back into the Premier League under Scott Parker, the first thing we all wondered was how we would strengthen the squad to handle the step up in quality. Seeing us close in on a deal for Armando Broja is exactly the sort of move that gives hope. Broja has pace, strength and a hunger to prove himself after limited chances at Chelsea. You can see him fitting into our system, running at defenders, chasing down every lost cause and giving us that extra bite up front. We have been crying out for a striker who can stretch the game and take on defenders one-on-one, and Broja ticks those boxes. The five-year contract speaks volumes. It is not just a loan to survive, it is about building something sustainable. The thought of Broja linking up with our wide players and getting service into the box is exciting. If this deal gets done quickly, we can head into the season with momentum and belief.

Hamburg consider move for Rennes' Warmed Omari
Warmed Omari (25) returns to Stade Rennais with his career at a crossroads. The former France youth international, who has since opted to represent Comoros at international level, struggled on loan at Olympique Lyonnais last season. The defender made just four appearances for Lyon in all competitions, accumulating just 277 minutes of playing time. He is not part of the project at formative club Rennes either. He has made 94 appearances for Les Rennais, however, he may have already played his last. As per a report from , Omari is the subject of interest from Hamburg, who were recently promoted back to the Bundesliga. He is under contract until the summer of 2027, however, Rennes are open to a sale in the event that they receive a reasonable offer. L'Équipe understands that Hamburg are currently in talks with the Ligue 1 side in order to find an agreement for the player's transfer. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Jashari set for Milan medical tests in 24-48 hours
Ardon Jashari is expected in Italy tonight for a Milan medical over the next 24-48 hours after a deal was agreed with Club Brugge for a reported €34m plus add-ons, with significant tweaks to the format. The big breakthrough was reported yesterday evening and things progressed rapidly from there, with the Rossoneri agreeing to raise the fixed part of the fee compared to the add-ons. That means the ultimate cost of the operation remains circa €38m, but that the structure of the fee is changed. How Milan got the Jashari deal done BRUSSELS, BELGIUM – MAY 04: Ardon Jashari #30 of Club Brugge KV lifts the Croky Cup trophy after Club Brugge KV defeated RSC Anderlecht 2-1 in the Croky Cup Final at King Baudouin Stadium on May 04, 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. (Photo by Alex Bierens) According to that means €34m fixed, plus €4m in add-ons, with payment spread out over four years rather than five. Jashari had signed off on the personal terms weeks ago, a five-year contract worth €2.5m per season and rising. BERGAMO, ITALY – FEBRUARY 18: Ardon Jashari of Club Brugge KV celebrates victory following the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Knockout Play-off second leg match between Atalanta BC and Club Brugge KV at Gewiss Stadium on February 18, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) The player was crucial in getting this over the line by demanding a transfer to Milan, who he had supported since a childhood trip to San Siro, and rejecting more lucrative proposals from the likes of Neom. Now Club Brugge are releasing him to fly out and undergo the medical tests, so he is expected to arrive on Italian soil as early as this evening, undergoing the tests on Wednesday.
